1 CON UN PIE DENTRO DE LOS EE.UU. OBLIGACIONES TRIBUTARIAS DE EXTRANJEROS Por: José Luis Núñez, Esq. Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 1500 San Remo Ave. Suite 125 Coral Gables, Florida Telephone: (305) Fax: (305) Presentación Patrocinada por International Wealth Planners Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg
2 The following outline provides a very general discussion of a number of the different planning alternatives for a foreign ownership of a USRPI or other U.S. business asset. Please note that this outline is intended to review only those circumstances where the structure in question is the original acquirer of such an interest, as numerous complex rules (a discussion of which is outside the scope of this outline) apply to transfers of existing interests to one or more of these structures. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 2
3 Each different type of investment and business structure has its own advantages and disadvantages. Planning opportunities may be different based upon the age and health of the person(s) in question. THIS OUTLINE IS NOT INTENDED AS A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL POSSIBLE TAX CONSIDERATIONS IN ACQUIRING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING A MEMBERSHIP INTEREST IN A FLORIDA LLC OWNING ONE OR MORE USRPIs. EACH INVESTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS, HER, OR ITS OWN TAX PLANNING DECISIONS, PARTICULARLY SINCE THE POTENTIAL RELATED FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND POSSIBLY THIRD COUNTRY TAX ISSUES AND CONSEQUENCES MAY NOT BE THE SAME FOR ALL INVESTORS. INVESTORS SHOULD THEREFORE CONSULT THEIR OWN U.S. AND THIRD COUNTRY TAX ADVISORS FOR SPECIFIC GUIDANCE REGARDING THE MATTERS DISCUSSED HEREIN. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 3
4 LEGEND OF SELECTED ABBREVIATIONS BLIT the U.S. branch level interest tax (see, e.g. IRC 884). In circumstances where a borrower is a foreign corporation engaged in a USTB, which status can result through, for instance, an LLC which has a USRPI-related trade or business or gains treated as such, the interest paid may be subject to the U.S. 30% flat tax subject to certain exemptions (for example, the PIE) and/or U.S. income tax treaty benefits. BPT the U.S. branch profits tax (see, e.g. IRC 884). If a foreign corporation does not reinvest its annual U.S. trade of business earnings and profits (i.e., its effectively connected earnings and profits) in accordance with certain specific IRS regulations, those earnings and profits not so reinvested will be treated as if they had been distributed as a dividend to the foreign shareholders, and subject to a 30% flat tax with payment responsibility placed on the foreign corporation. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 4
5 ECI effectively-connected income, generally income derived from a USTB, or income from the sale of a USRPI which is treated as ECI E&P earnings and profits ECE&P effectively-connected earnings and profits (for BPT purposes) FC foreign (non-u.s.) corporation. The corporation could be established in any non-u.s. jurisdiction, with the most desirable place of formation to be determined in part depending upon each individual situation. FIRPTA Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended (see, e.g., 897 and 1445). This complex law and the Treasury Regulations interpreting these statutes have governed the U.S. income tax law relating to transfers of USRPIs since it became law. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 5
6 IRC Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the U.S. tax law) IRS Internal Revenue Service (the federal tax authority) LLC limited liability company (a type of legal entity that, among other uses, is commonly formed to hold USRPIs depending upon various factors, it can be treated as either a pass-through entity or as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes. NOL net operating loss NRA nonresident alien individual for U.S. income tax purposes PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 6
7 PI E portfolio interest exemption, which enables interest to be paid free of U.S. tax to a foreign lender under certain circumstances USCO domestic (for example, Florida) corporation USRPI United States real property interest (throughout this outline, it is presumed that the Florida LLC in which each foreign investor may invest holds only USRPIs and that an interest in the Florida LLC is itself a USRPI) USTB United States trade or business PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 7
8 Classification of Individual U.S. Person Non-U.S. Person U.S. citizen, or Non-U.S. citizen and U.S. lawful permanent Not a U.S. lawful permanent resident or resident, and Other U.S. tax resident Does not violate the based on days present substantial present test. in the United States.

Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 9
10 U.S. Withholding Tax on Passive U.S. Source Income A foreign taxpayer is taxed at a flat 30% rate (the on certain U.S. source investment type income (often called or or determinable annual or periodical not effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business FDAPI includes (but is not limited to) interest [other than portfolio interest and 1273 original issue discount (OID)], dividends, rents, salaries, wages, premiums, annuities, compensations, remunerations, and emoluments under 871(a)(1)(A) and (h), 881(a)(1) and (c) Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 10
11 U.S. Withholding Tax on Passive U.S. Source Income IRS Forms W-8BEN and W-8IMY IRS Forms 1042 and 1042S Withholding liability can exist even without an actual payment, as FDAPI includes income deemed paid by one related party to another under 482, see Central de Gas de Chihuahua, S.A., 102 T.C. 515 (1994) The withholding agent is liable for unpaid tax under 1461 a very common problem for U.S. corporations and partnerships with foreign ownership, and foreign owned U.S. rental properties Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 11
12 The Portfolio Interest Exemption A Great Planning Opportunity Foreign lenders may receive tax-free interest when paid by an U.S. borrower No limitations on terms, except the U.S. borrower and the foreign lender must use typical length loan agreements Family members are for direct loan purposes, but check the complex attribution rules for entity borrowers and lenders Contingent interest taxed at regular 30% rate Form W-8BEN must be received by the borrower before any payments are made to the lender Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 12
13 What Type of Entity Is The Foreign Entity? Another very common international tax practice issue individuals with interests in foreign entities For U.S. tax purposes, they could be corporations, partnerships, trusts, or disregarded entities U.S. tax and compliance rules vary substantially depending upon the type of entity Facts, circumstances, and applicable foreign laws may control entity treatment Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 13
14 Form 8832 A foreign eligible entity may adopt a classification different from its default classification by filing Form 8832 The effective date can generally be 75 days prior to the date Form 8832 is filed, with certain procedures available to extend the ability to make a election. Please note, although some of these procedures are (e.g., see Rev. Proc allowing a late election up to 3 years and 75 days of the requested effective data) one might need to apply for a Private Letter Ruling to obtain relief if you are NOTE: the election to treat an entity classified as a corporation into an entity that is classified as a partnership or disregarded entity constitutes a liquidation of that entity and may have associated U.S. income tax consequences Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 14
15 Does Your Foreign Client Have a U.S. Trade or Business with Effectively Connected Income? Having a U.S. office, employee, or dependent agent can have severe, unexpected related consequences for a foreign business Title passage test applies for inventory sales to determine source Foreign (as well as U.S.) sales income can be taxable by the U.S. if there is too much of a U.S. presence and there are ongoing U.S. contract negotiations and sales if at all possible, keep these activities offshore Services performed in the U.S. are subject to tax, but NOT services performed outside of the U.S. Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 15
16 Does Your Client Have a U.S. Trade or Business with Effectively Connected Income? Things to avoid if practically possible : have business cards or a web site with a U.S. address have salesmen of the foreign business negotiate and conclude contracts while in the U.S. send orders to my foreign office and it can help Have title to goods sold pass outside of the U.S. (for example,.o.b. For a service business, only perform work while not present in the U.S., and prepare an appropriate written service agreement that confirms this Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 16
17 Inbound Use of U.S. Income Tax Treaties The U.S. has an extensive network of income tax treaties which may provide extensive benefits to U.S. persons and treaty country residents use Form 8833 for -based or W-8BEN as applicable Reduced or eliminated withholding tax on passive income Higher standard than regular U.S. tax law for treaty country residents conducting business in the U.S. the with attributable Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 17
18 Inbound Use of U.S. Income Tax Treaties (continued) Special rules for determining income tax residence the tiebreaker may provide substantial planning opportunities Reduced U.S. branch profits tax rates and special exclusions 15% rule has resulted in treaty-shopping attempts by rearranging existing structures will they work? Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 18
19 Inbound Use of U.S. Income Tax Treaties (continued) of and other anti-treaty shopping rules to prevent country use of treaties see, e.g., Aiken, Del Commercial Properties prevent treaties from overriding general U.S. tax rules for U.S. citizens Exchange of information between the of each country automatic, simultaneous, spontaneous, specific Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 19
20 Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number New form revised January, 2012 An ITIN is a nine-digit number issued by the IRS to individuals who are required for U.S. tax purposes to have a U.S. taxpayer identification number but who do not have and are not eligible to get a social security number (SSN) Form W-7 does not apply if you have an SSN or you are eligible to get an SSN as a U.S. citizen, U.S. green card holder or admitted for U.S. employment Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 20
21 Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 21
22 Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number Acceptance Agents (AAs) are persons (individuals or entities such as colleges, financial institutions, accounting firms, etc.) who have entered into formal agreements with the IRS that permit them to assist applicants in obtaining ITINs Certifying Acceptance Agents (CAAs) are individuals or entities who are also authorized to verify the claim of and through a review of appropriate documentation, as well as verifying the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of the supporting documentation Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 22
23 Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number AAs may submit Form W-7, attached U.S. Federal income tax return, and any supplemental documentation to the IRS, but only facilitate the application, as they are not authorized to issue the ITIN directly Once the ITIN is issued, the AA receives the number directly from IRS AAs/CAAs may charge a fee for their services A list of authorized Acceptance Agents is available on the IRS website Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 23
24 Form W-7 Any individual who is not eligible for an SSN but who must furnish a taxpayer identification number must apply for an ITIN on Form W-7 examples: NRA eligible for reduced U.S. withholding tax benefits under a U.S. income tax treaty NRA required to file a U.S. tax return or filing only to claim a refund NRA who elects to file a joint U.S. tax return with a U.S. citizen or resident alien spouse U.S. substantial presence test resident alien who files a U.S. tax return Alien spouse claimed as an exemption on a U.S. tax return Alien individual eligible to be claimed as a dependent on a U.S. tax return NRA student, professor, or researcher who is required to file a U.S. tax return, or who is claiming an exception to the tax return filing requirement A dependent/spouse of an NRA U.S. visa holder Undocumented immigrants 24 Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg
25 Form W-7 Under the prior procedure, copies of the required documents could be submitted if they were notarized by a U.S. notary public legally authorized within his or her local jurisdiction to certify that the document was a true copy of the original. To do this, the notary had to see the valid, unaltered, original document and verify that the copy conforms to the original Notarizing Officers at U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas could provide these notarial and authentication services Such copies could also be submitted if they were notarized by a foreign notary under the Hague Convention procedures for countries that have joined the Hague Convention Under these procedures, a certification is issued in the form of an attached to the copy of the document If the document originated in a country that is not party to the Hague Convention, applicants were required to have the document certified by the issuing foreign authority Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 25
26 New ITIN Rules Causing Havoc Effective June 22, 2012, the IRS made significant interim changes to the ITIN application process The IRS indicated that these changes were required due to substantial fraud occurring in the application process Unlike the Social Security Administration, which requires an individual to submit documents to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN), the IRS has accepted notarized copies of documents for ITINs The IRS intended the interim procedures to apply only to applicants generally seeking ITINs for the purposes of filing U.S. individual income tax returns, but they actually have a much broader scope Because the April 17 filing deadline had passed, the IRS anticipated that a small number of taxpayers would need ITINs before the end of 2012, when new rules will supposedly be issued However, the IRS failed to take into account the lack of desire to send in original documents that practitioners and taxpayers fear will disappear into the proverbial bureaucratic black hole Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 26
27 New ITIN Rules Causing Havoc The IRS now only issues ITINs when applications include original documentation, such as passports and birth certificates, or certified copies of these documents from the issuing agency ITINs will not be issued based on applications supported by notarized copies of documents In addition, ITINs will not be issued based on applications submitted through certified acceptance agents unless they attach original documentation or copies of original documents certified by the issuing agency Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 27
28 New ITIN Rules Causing Havoc Persons who need ITINs to get their tax return processed can do so by submitting their original documentation or certified copies of their documentation by mail Documentation will be accepted at IRS walk-in sites but will be forwarded to the ITIN centralized site for processing Some categories of W-7 ITIN applicants are not impacted by these interim changes Military spouses and dependents without an SSN who need an ITIN, by providing a copy of the spouse or U.S. military identification, or applying from an overseas APO/FPO address Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 28
29 New ITIN Rules Causing Havoc NRAs applying for ITINs for the purpose of claiming tax treaty benefits (use boxes a and h on Form W-7) New ITIN applications of this category that are accompanied by a US tax return are subject to the new interim document standards The key problem: NRAs often need ITINs for reasons besides filing a U.S. tax return third-party withholding for various income, such as FIRPTA, certain gambling winnings or pension income, and for other information reporting purposes FIRPTA Forms 8288/8288-A/8288-B ITIN filing status and requirements are presently uncertain Existing documentation standards will be maintained only for these applicants, but IRS scrutiny of the documents will be heightened Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 29
30 What Structure Should I Recommend to an NRA Investing in the U.S.? Income tax savings and estate tax avoidance can a foreign investor enjoy both? Investment structures for many foreign persons now MUST be transparent a complete switch from the way we used to practice! Many existing structures now need to be changed to become transparent and it can have a significant U.S. income tax cost Packman Neuwahl & Rosenberg 30
31 Alternative 1 NRA Directly Owns the USRPI or through a Single Member LLC Disregarded for U.S. tax purposes NRA NRA or US LLC USRPI USRPI PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 31
32 Alternative 1 NRA Directly Owns the USRPI or through a Single Member LLC Disregarded for U.S. tax purposes Advantages: 1. This structure potentially results in the lowest overall U.S. income tax rate with respect to income earned from a taxable disposition of the USRPI (currently 15% capital gains if the USRPI is held more than one year; otherwise 35% maximum ordinary income). In addition, there is only one level of U.S. income tax imposed upon NRA. 2. This is the least complex and cheapest structure to form and maintain. 3. No BPT or BLIT. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 32
33 Alternative 1 NRA Directly Owns the USRPI or through a Single Member LLC Disregarded for U.S. tax purposes Disadvantages: 1. No anonymity potential except that if LLC is used, LLC would appear as the owner of the USRPI under the real estate public records note, however, that planning should never be solely based upon a desire for anonymity, as it cannot be guaranteed, particularly where there is a tax treaty between the U.S. and the country of the residence or because of existing banking and money regulations. 2. The filing of an NRA individual U.S. income tax return (Form 1040NR) upon disposition or sooner if the 9 PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 33
34 Alternative 1 NRA Directly Owns the USRPI or through a Single Member LLC Disregarded for U.S. tax purposes USRPI is a USTB property or a is made to treat it as a USTB property. 3. FIRPTA withholding applies to the sale of the USRPI (generally, 10% of purchase price, credited against actual tax due). If the foreign seller knows that the U.S. income tax liability will be less than the gross 10% withholding tax, the seller can utilize certain procedures to request the reduction of the withholding tax. 4. No U.S. estate and gift tax protection. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 10 34
35 Alternative 1 NRA Directly Owns the USRPI or through a Single Member LLC Disregarded for U.S. tax purposes Planning Notes: 1. As a hedge against the U.S. estate tax, consider obtaining U.S. life insurance, which is a foreign situs asset exempt from U.S. estate tax where the insured is a nonresident alien decedent. 2. Check applicable U.S. tax treaties. 3. Can pay out U.S. tax-free foreign source interest on U.S. business related debt and obtain deduction where business assets secure such debt or where debt is to a U.S. trade or business, subject to a percentage limitation. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 11 35
36 Alternative 2 NRA Owns FC Which Owns USCO Which Owns the USRPI NRA FC USCO USRPI PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 36
37 Alternative 2 NRA Owns FC Which Owns USCO Which Owns the USRPI Advantages: 1. A 34/35% U.S. income tax rate applies, plus applicable state (for example, Florida) income tax, but only one level of U.S. income tax is imposed if USCO makes only a single liquidation distribution without paying dividends. It must be remembered, however, that to the extent USCO has annual E&P, the income resulting from retaining such E&P will result in additional annual gross income potentially subject to U.S. corporate income tax, subject to exceptions for certain tax-exempt investments. 2. No U.S. estate or gift tax. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 37
38 Alternative 2 NRA Owns FC Which Owns USCO Which Owns the USRPI 3. Limited legal liability at the FC and USCO levels. 4. Extra level of potential anonymity. 5. No BPT or BLIT. 6. No FIRPTA withholding would apply to the sale of USRPI because FIRPTA withholding does not apply to the disposition of a USRPI owned by a U.S. person. If FC sold or liquidated USCO, FIRPTA withholding would apply if USCO has not disposed of all of its USRPIs in taxable transactions, subject to possibly having such withholding reduced as mentioned in Alternative 1. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 38
39 Alternative 2 NRA Owns FC Which Owns USCO Which Owns the USRPI Disadvantages: 1. U.S. income tax rate may be greater than individual rate. 2. A relatively expensive structure to create and maintain. 3. Interest-stripping limitation and the related foreign person guarantee rule. If FC or a party related to FC makes loans to USCO, and the interest USCO pays is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate or withholding under the PIE and/or a tax treaty, USCO may find its interest deduction limited if its debt to equity ratio exceeds 1.5 to 1. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 39
40 Alternative 2 NRA Owns FC Which Owns USCO Which Owns the USRPI 4. A 30% U.S. withholding tax applies to dividends paid by from USCO to FC unless a U.S. tax treaty provides a lower rate. Planning Notes: 1. When funding USCO consider the implications of equity versus debt as interest paid on a loan from USCO to FC could result in a less expensive alternative for returning capital plus some earning to FC. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 40
41 Alternative 2 NRA Owns FC Which Owns USCO Which Owns the USRPI 2. Other alternatives include structuring a loan from NRA or FC to qualify for the PIE or for reduced taxation under an applicable U.S. tax treaty. 3. Need to consider the effect of holding multiple USRPIs in one DC versus holding one USRPI per DC and possible effect of tax consolidation. Difficult to avoid second level tax if USCO cannot liquidate. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 41
42 Alternative 3 NRA is a Partner in a Foreign Partnership Which Owns a U.S. Partnership which Owns the USRPI NRA Other Partner(s) May be a Foreign Partnership nominal interest May be a US Partnership nominal interest USRPI PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 42
43 Alternative 3 NRA is a Partner in a Foreign Partnership Which Owns a U.S. Partnership which Owns the USRPI Advantages: 1. This structure also potentially results in the lowest overall U.S. income tax rate with respect to income earned from a taxable disposition of the USRPI (currently 15% capital gains if the USRPI is held more than one year; otherwise 35% maximum ordinary income). In addition, there is only one level of U.S. income tax imposed upon NRA or other income, as the partnership is a - entity for U.S. income tax purposes. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 43
44 Alternative 3 NRA is a Partner in a Foreign Partnership Which Owns a U.S. Partnership which Owns the USRPI 2. If partnership is a limited liability company or a limited partnership where NRA is a limited partner, limited legal liability. 3. No BPT or BLIT considerations. 4. Arguably, no U.S. gift tax would be imposed upon a transfer of a partnership interest, but unclear, and maybe the same result regardless of whether the gift is of a U.S. or foreign partnership. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 44
45 Alternative 3 NRA is a Partner in a Foreign Partnership Which Owns a U.S. Partnership which Owns the USRPI Disadvantages: 1. USTB or permanent establishment of partnership causes such status (and U.S. income tax return filing requirements) at NRA partner level. 2. No real anonymity. 3. No limited legal liability if NRA is a general partner in a limited partner except per a specific state law. 4. Potential U.S. estate tax, as the applicable law is not entirely clear, especially if the USRPI is treated as a USTB, although arguments to the contrary exist. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 45
46 Alternative 3 NRA is a Partner in a Foreign Partnership Which Owns a U.S. Partnership which Owns the USRPI 5. Subject to special U.S. withholding tax rules for partnerships with foreign partners with regard to taxable ECI of any foreign partner but the regulations allow for a reduction based on a foreign deductions and losses reasonably expected to be available. 6. Possibly U.S. gift tax upon a transfer by NRA of a partnership interest although potential arguments to the contrary exist. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 46
47 Alternative 3 NRA is a Partner in a Foreign Partnership Which Owns a U.S. Partnership which Owns the USRPI Planning Notes: 1. Strong differences of opinion exist among tax practitioners regarding whether this structure in fact provides potential U.S. estate tax protection. 2. Consider PIE planning with respect to loans to be made to the partnership but be careful with certain rules limiting interest deduction or allocation in the case of a foreign partner. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 47
48 Alternative 3 NRA is a Partner in a Foreign Partnership Which Owns a U.S. Partnership which Owns the USRPI 3. Consider alternatives to reduce equity value of the partnership via funding through loans for U.S. estate tax purposes. 4. Be certain that partnerships take the form of eligible entities which may elect to become a corporation if desired and be alert of timing issues related thereto. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 48
49 Alternative 4 NRA Establishes U.S. or Foreign Non- Grantor Irrevocable Trust Which Owns the USRPI (NRA Retains No Tainted Rights, Powers, Benefits, Interest in or Control Over the Irrevocable Trust) NRA U.S. or Foreign Irrevocable Non-Grantor Trust US LLC USRPI PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 49
50 Alternative 4 NRA Establishes U.S. or Foreign Non- Grantor Irrevocable Trust Which Owns the USRPI (NRA Retains No Tainted Rights, Powers, Benefits, Interest in or Control Over the Irrevocable Trust) Advantages: 1. This structure also potentially results in the lowest overall U.S. income tax rate with respect to income earned from a taxable disposition of the USRPI (currently 15% capital gains if the USRPI is held more than one year; otherwise 35% maximum ordinary income) or other income. In addition, there is only one level of U.S. income tax imposed (upon either the trust or possibly a beneficiary, depending upon the terms of the trust). PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 50
51 Alternative 4 NRA Establishes U.S. or Foreign Non- Grantor Irrevocable Trust Which Owns the USRPI (NRA Retains No Tainted Rights, Powers, Benefits, Interest in or Control Over the Irrevocable Trust) 2. No BPT or BLIT considerations. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 51
52 Alternative 4 NRA Establishes U.S. or Foreign Non- Grantor Irrevocable Trust Which Owns the USRPI (NRA Retains No Tainted Rights, Powers, Benefits, Interest in or Control Over the Irrevocable Trust) Disadvantages: 1. USTB status or permanent establishment of trust creates such status at trust or beneficiary level, depending upon the terms. This could result in beneficiary having a US tax filing obligation. 2. No real anonymity. 3. No limited liability for the trust, but potential liability protection for the beneficiaries depending upon the terms. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 52
53 Alternative 4 NRA Establishes U.S. or Foreign Non- Grantor Irrevocable Trust Which Owns the USRPI (NRA Retains No Tainted Rights, Powers, Benefits, Interest in or Control Over the Irrevocable Trust) Planning Notes: 1. This structure can have excellent overall U.S. taxrelated benefits. However, for maximum potential benefits, the investor must truly be willing to give up control over the trust assets. 2. If a foreign trust, possible planning for U.S. income tax free payments of certain foreign source interest but be careful with certain rules limiting interest deduction or allocation in the case of a foreign partner. 53 PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG
54 Alternative 4 NRA Establishes U.S. or Foreign Non- Grantor Irrevocable Trust Which Owns the USRPI (NRA Retains No Tainted Rights, Powers, Benefits, Interest in or Control Over the Irrevocable Trust) 3. If a U.S. trust possible planning for U.S. income tax free payments of PIE interest. PACKMAN NEUWAHL & ROSENBERG 54
